I love those model years / models. They are outstanding. Everything that is yours, consider it plated in gold, because it belongs to you! When I was in college I worked at a Sears auto putting on tires, and some people would replace tires that had a good amount of life left in them. A couple of times I snagged up a set for my own car. I wouldn't be afraid of that 4960! We don't really need a lot being a feed and seed operation, but we do grow some corn, and upper upper 100's on the bushel per acre really slows my 9500 down, my 9600 does OK. I tried keeping the 9500 on beans / legumes/ cereal crops, and running only the 9600 on the corn, and bringing in the 9500 to help speed up the tail end of the corn, but we're "organic" and a good chunk of our corn is a white food variety grown on contract, and they want to send a wave of trucks, pick up their product and be done with it. So I went out and purchased two 9X1100'S! WAY OVER KILL! But I'm leasing them to a custom harvester, and he's committing a dozen machines to my white organic food grade corn harvest when the time comes. I'm paying him a competitive rate, but his lease payments exceed my payment on the equipment by about the same amount. and his "credit" isn't getting tied up, he can run more machines and make more money.

So you spent a little under 2 mill for 2X9s 950k starting good thing I have my hip waders handy the sh!ts getting deep

@@jjp1117 Oh boy, internet tough guys are EVERYWHERE, actually, yes I did. My 401k was kind enough to release the funds and charge me 1% to borrow my own money. It was quite a bit under 2 though. I'm also putting about 3.5 mil into a grain system, shop and some improvements on the mill. All the years of not having what I need, and a couple of decade on these bones, I'm ready for it.

@@jjp1117 NO, I don’t want to spend 600-700 k for 2 good used machines to replace two 25 year old units, but my net investment in the X9’s will be roughly the same amount, but I’ll never need to buy another one ever again. I don’t know why you can’t get your head around the concept. It takes all kinds I guess.

@@iafarmer I agree. Been watching a lot of your videos today and enjoying them. I give you a lot of credit hearing about your start as a farmer and sorry you lost your father at such a young age. I’m sure he’s very proud of what you’ve accomplished in your young life. I’m 5th generation farmer in my family and feel very fortunate from my past generations willing to pass the farm to the next and hearing your story is inspirational. You’re gonna love that 9500 btw...we’ve been running one since 2004 and it has the same hours on it as yours...one of the best combines Deere ever built.

People discount these older tractors, the parts that wear are the main issue, you can rebuild the engine transmission for not a lot you have a tractor that will do another 15000 hours plus if you look after it, newer tractor have better transmissions and are easier to use but if that does not bother then its a no brainer, this one is a great looking tractor for age.

@iafarmer 4 жыл бұрын

Yup. This one had 50,000 stuck into it at the dealer in the last 5 years so most of the high dollar stuff has been rebuilt. The older stuff isnt for everyone but the parts are available and they were built to last

@commonwealthfarms5342 4 жыл бұрын

iafarmer it was different! Spring was cool & wet.....Summer was hot & wet.......and then Fall went to hot & dry causing poor (tonnage) yields....but the supply demands were definitely there. I had no problem selling all I had. Maybe 2020 will go back to normal. How was your crop yields?

@iafarmer 4 жыл бұрын

@@commonwealthfarms5342 overall it was pretty good for what the weather gave us. Bean yields were down a bit and corn was "average" id say. Price isnt anything spectacular but i did well on about half the corn,sitting on the rest.
